This Splendid LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon Birthday Cake was made by annimemanga. She made this cake for her nephew’s birthday. The cake has panels of fondant on the top that look like thin lego bricks. The blocks are light gray with darker gray circles for different circular dishes on the outer hull of the ship. The cake has a stand so that it looks like it is flying. The cake board is covered in black glittery paper to make it look like outer space with stars. There is a placard in Star Wars font that wishes a Happy 7th Birthday to Max, the birthday boy.

Jo Takes The Cake made this Green Lantern Cake for Chloe, a green lantern fan, who was turning 6. Chloe had a green and black Green Lantern dress with the green lantern symbol in the middle. So, Jo designed this cake to match the dress.

On top of this cake are Green Lantern’s Mask and his power ring. The birthday girl’s name is on the cake beside them.

The side of the cake is black and green just like the front of Green Lantern’s costume. The green part of the costume is ribbed to match the dress. In the center of the textured green background is a white circle with the Green Lantern Symbol. Inside it is Chloe’s age.

To match the dress, the cake board is covered in green cloth and has a black bow that surrounds the cake.

Yoda has his lightsaber drawn, ready to defend against any Sith that may threaten the safety of the Republic. This pose of Yoda reminds me of two of Master Yoda’s most memorable lightsaber duels: when he fought Count Dooku (Darth Tyranus) in ‘Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones’ and when he fought Chancellor Palpatine (Darth Sidious) in ‘Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.’ This wonderful Star Wars Cake was made by Christine of Imaginarium Cakes for her son’s 8th birthday party. She used Wooden dowels for the internal structure for Yoda. She did an excellent job creating Yoda’s glowing lightsaber from scratch using a 3 volt LED and some rolled cellophane. This approach made it realistic looking, lightweight, and the proper scale to fit Yoda’s hands. The kids at the party thought it was great to witness the first piece of cake being cut from Yoda’s belly.

Ursula is the Terror of the Seas on this Disney cake as she capsizes this old style sailing ship. The ship looks much like the one that Eric was on in “The Little Mermaid." Maytarta crafted this amazing edible Little Mermaid Cake. The wood grain of the old style sailing ship is wonderful. Notice the intricate carvings on the stern of the ship and the carved head of Eric on the bow of the ship. The rope for the anchor goes from the boat and disappears into the water just on top of Ursula’s head. The main mast is broken and the main sail is missing along with several planks from the side and stern of the ship. The sea churns upward with Ursula’s fury as the ship is lifted high up in the air above the ocean. Just below the ship, Ursula head and tentacles are seen protruding out of the water high into the air. The ocean waves are blue waves with white caps. Ursula has a huge smile of her face as she delights in making chaos. Ursula’s tentacles are black on top and purple on the bottom with white suction cups attached to the bottom. She is wearing pink shell earrings. Be sure to catch the video at the bottom of the post that features ‘Ursula’ in a totally different Disney setting.
